Popis: Hydrothermal reaction of Ln2O3 and 2,2′-thiodiacetic acid (H2tda) led to three chain-based two-dimensional (2D) lanthanide complexes, namely [Ln2(tda)3(H2O)2]n (Ln = Gd3+ (1), Tb3+ (2), Dy3+ (3)). These complexes exhibit enhanced stabilities with the decomposition temperature of around 300 °C and the insolubility in common organic solvents. Magnetic studies show that complex 1 exhibits weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the Gd3+ ions and a large magnetocaloric effect with −ΔSmmax = 39.2 J kg−1 K−1 and 94.8 mJ cm−3 K−1 at 7 T and 2 K. Complex 2 displays ferromagnetic and weak field-induced SMM behaviors, and complex 3 almost does not exhibit slow relaxation of the magnetization.
